CodeKindness: Mobilzing Technology Volunteers for Social Good
Monday, August 18th, 2008 | Technology & Innovation | No Comments
Greetings, friends!
Several months ago, during a PLML meeting, we hit upon the challenge that there was no technology to help small nonprofit organizations (like PLML) harness the power of volunteer technologists. Sure, there were volunteering technologies (like idealist.org), but nothing that accommodated nonprofits, distance technology volunteers and the kinds of relationships that would make this match-making successful.
So what did we do? True to form, we plopped ourselves down, drew up some sketches, developed CodeKindness, and have just - gasp! - released it!
Cheers, and stay tuned for CK updates (and the next technologies that we’re building),
